Since the child disabled freedom pass is listed, I wonder whether it’s worth listing the discretionary disabled freedom pass as well?
It appears to confer the same benefits as a regular freedom pass, with the exception it does not permit free bus travel outside of London...
There seems to be strikes regularly for various reasons. Once these latest rounds are resolved, there will inevitably be more strikes for other railway staff concerning whatever matters they raise.
For a lot of people (outside the railway industry), strikes are just par the course now.
Do we actually know the full details of the freedom pass case? There is a general discussion here about using solicitors and their outcomes but then seemingly an unreasonable amount of focus on one case for which few details have been shared.
I asked this before and got no response, but does anyone know why Pinner bus stop has not been showing any bus information for many months now (and probably approaching a year)?
on the website to report issues, TFL claim it is fixed but it isn’t.
The main problem isn’t the phone as you can simply print the e-ticket.
As already stated the problems are firstly poorly trained railway staff and secondly gates with technology that, for whatever reason(s), do not permit all valid tickets.
Those suggesting to use rail as a transfer between terminals I am curious to know whether they have used it before. The Elizabeth line is a fair long walk to one of the terminals from my memory and that’s just leaving the station and not even reaching platform level. I’ve also had individuals...
New traffic lights for crossing between the bus and tube station. Not yet operational.

Still an issue. I checked a website on TFL (can’t remember which) and it’s claimed it has been fixed. A few people reported it hasn’t but nothing been done thus far. Really silly situation.
Can there really be a meaningful typical recovery time? Surely it depends on just far too many factors such as the nature of the signal problem, the time to fix the problem, the location of the drivers etc?
If no other services could use the paths, maybe invest in the southern access extension and run Paddington direct to Heathrow to “South” service as a fast regional commuter service instead?
Thanks for providing the link.
i would assume if it’s valid for elderly people then it would be valid for disabled but you are both right to cast doubt over that assumption as it is not made clear.
Can you provide a source for that. Best I can find is a Facebook post dated 2022 which explicitly excludes boarding at Luton airport, so can’t use the pass on its own to get back.

it would be...
I wonder if it’s a particular train? I was on the semi-fast to Baker Street that arrived at Harrow at about ~0826am. I’ll try to get a recording but it’s normally quite busy so may be tricky.
It is worth pointing out that you can also walk to Gloucester Road station through Imperial College, which is far quieter and also has lifts to the Piccadilly line (but still requires using steps).
Thanks.

It was a disabled pass.
Ah I see, at least there is a workaround.

Didn’t know that was possible, will take a look at that too.
I was searching for tickets on the forum ticket site and got the following error:
But Reading is not in a zone.
I expected to be able to be able to buy the off peak day single for £11.10 or be shown free Elizabeth line services.
